Excellent experience! Kim was a great guide. Very passionate about Alaska and nature. A real highlight of our trip!

This was our favorite excursion we did in Alaska. We booked directly with the company. I spoke with Ginger a couple times with questions before our trip and she was very helpful and friendly. Kim was our guide for the trip and she was outstanding. She was very, very knowledgeable and just a great guide. The floatplane ride was fun and very scenic. We saw bears when we arrived at the viewing platform. We were not rushed at all and saw several more bears while there. I highly recommend this company and this excursion...5 stars!!

After seeing tons of salmon right at previous cruise stop at Sitka (trail bridge at the national park), thought seeing salmon would be the least of our worries at Traitors Cove. For whatever reason, for our Sep 3, there were barely any salmon visible at either location. Saw black bears several times from the platform so no real issue there but only one bear really bothered to fish and they didn't catch anything. Seeing a bear with a salmon in its mouth was really was the one thing we really wanted to see our entire trip - so spent accordingly. Don't know if more unlucky day, week or year. Platform is also weirdly awkward. The viewing portals are at heights that make it difficult to stand at. And only 10-11 spots when 12 people can visit. Also impossible angle to see into the fish ladder. Rest of trip was solid. Guide good. Meetup good. Flight good. Zero bugs - despite AI getting us uber-prepared.

Fun flight, good host at the destination but no bears. The problem is that they have a tight schedule so you don’t have an opportunity to give it time to see if any bears decide to show up. There is a lot of state maintained hiking trails available when you get to Traitors Cove so if you are able to get there by some other means you would have time to discover .

If you are considering a flight of any kind in Ketchikan this is the company to choose! Everyone we dealt with from the first inquiry call to the end was amazing. After reading reviews I had narrowed it down to two companies and called both. The warm response I got at seawind prompted me to book. We were given very clear instructions for pick up and were driven from Ward Cove to the seaplane location. We then had a wonderful day with Russ and Kim. The real kicker came at the end when Lesley, the owner, noticed us stranded at the dock and drove us to the shuttle bus location and sent a cab to make sure we had a ride back to the port. You don’t often experience people who truly care about others like this! What an amazing experience!

Incredible experience, seeing the mother bear arrive with three cubs was very moving. The guide was super and I want to thank her for the passion with which she does her job. Activity and company recommended without a doubt.

Excellent Traitor’s Cove Bear Tour out of Ketchikan with SeaWind Aviation! We were coming in on a cruise ship and they were very communicative with us before we even left home and worked with us in terms of timing our tour around when we'd arrive. We had a great flight over to Traitor's Cove and hiked a little ways in to observe bears in their natural habitat, catching salmon, climbing trees and playfully fighting. All the staff, guides and pilot were very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend SeaWind Aviation to anyone visiting Ketchikan.

Incredible bucket list tour. Professional, easy to get to from cruise ship. Cheaper than cruise ship. Had the most amazing time with knowledgeable, funny, warm Kim from uk. Can’t believe we saw 2 sets of mothers and babies, one set of teeny bear cubs and another playing out a whole drama of teaching the baby cub how to cross the water. Was an experience I will never forget actually brings me close to tears it was sooo fantastic. It’s expensive but really worth every penny. Incredible

Excellent experience watching the bears feed on salmon, highly recommend! Very professional outfit, from booking with Lesley months prior, to the seaplane flights, and our guide on the island was great. By far our favorite excursion while we were in Alaska for twelve days. (2nd week of August)

Highly recommend. Plane was smooth. Guide was wonderful and knowledgeable. We did see multiple bears and a cub.
